I would get the civic, the lude is kinda old and harder to get parts for...

 

as already said, even though the lude is older its still faster and handles better than the civic. the parts are easy to get a hold of since i just posted a link that has links to get every single part you need

 

Well, the techs at the local performance shops here suck ass so I would'nt agree. I once had a shop here (one of the biggest) show me a B18A longblock they were selling and the guy was telling me it was out of a 96 teg LS. I explained to him that the 96' LS motor would be a B18B1 and he refused to acknowledge it. It was crazy. needless to say, anytime someone talks about getting work done at this shop (J&Y performance) I try and convince them to take it elsewhere.

 

My opinion on the local shopd here is that they should stick to installing intakes and alteeza's and not try and act like they have extensive in motor building.

 

the local shop here wont work on anything older than 95. and only acura integras, honda civics, & preludes. the only car besides those 3 that i have seen there is a 3000gt. they are a bunch of assholes. and if anyone comes in and wants to fix up an integra, they will do it, but they refuse to make one that is faster than the owner's son's ITR. they will absolutely refuse to do the work if its gonna make the car faster than his ITR. i couldnt believe it when i heard it.
